Abstract:
Due to the heterosexist ideals associated with gender norms, gay men often experience negative attitudes towards their own sexuality—internalized homophobia. As a result, gay men often feel compelled to compensate for their perceived lack of masculinity. The study aimed to investigate the relationship and predictive power of masculinity on gay men’s experiences of internalized homophobia. A sample of 489 self-identified Australian gay men 18–72 years old participated in an online survey on masculinity and homosexuality. Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and sequential multiple regressions were used to test the study’s aims. Sequential multiple regressions revealed that conformity to masculine norms and threats to masculinity contingency were stronger predictors of internalized homophobia over and above demographic and other factors. Given the already known psychological risks associated with social isolation, internalized homophobia, and the poor mental health outcomes associated with sexual minority groups, it is suggested that gay men who are experiencing high degrees of internalized homophobia should not be distancing themselves from other gay men but, conversely, seek a strong relationship with the LGBTI community.

Abstract:
This study argues that hegemonic masculinity and inclusive masculinity are conciliatory when applied to networked masculinities in homosexual spaces. It contends hegemonic masculinity is a macro-level process that informs micro-level processes of inclusive masculinity. Employing a textual analysis of 500 individual profiles in gay dating apps (Scruff, GROWLr, GuySpy and Hornet), findings indicate networked masculinities informed by hegemonic masculinity. A process of “mascing” also resulted from the data.

Abstract:
Rodeos have been an integral part of American cowboy culture since the 1800s, however, it wasn’t until the 1970s when gay rodeos began to form and challenge some of the assumptions about ‘cowboys,’ ‘sexuality,’ and ‘masculinity.’ The purpose of this ethnographic study was to utilize participant-driven photo-elicitation (PDPE) method to understand how individuals who participate in gay rodeos experience their identities and the meanings they attribute to their participation in this queer subculture. The diverse images shared by the participants illustrate their unique identities and the various meanings they attribute to their participation in gay rodeo. The findings from this study serve to highlight various aspects of the gay rodeo subculture and the role of gay rodeo as a site of support and solidarity for LGBTQ communities. In this study, gay rodeo emerges as a space of contestation, resistance and reification of gender norms and heterosexuality. The findings call into question tensions that exist when trying to dismantle sexual minority stereotypes while simultaneously perpetuating white hegemonic masculinity through the pervasive image of the gay cowboy. Interrogating the ways in which gay rodeo participants simultaneously reinforced and challenged hegemonic masculinity helps to understand how the idealized (hetero)sexual images of cowboys connected to symbolic power, strength and self-worth, position gay rodeo participants. This research study also reveals that participants of gay rodeo, who travel within and across the USA in order to participate in rodeo events, experiment with multiple non-heterosexual identities as they search for spaces and communities away from compulsory heterosexuality.

Abstract:
South Africa’s progressive Constitution remains at the forefront of legislation within the African continent, which emphasise inclusion, freedom and societal acceptance. This social advancement led to the adoption of the Civil Union Act in 2006. This made South Africa one of the first countries to recognise same-sex marriage as well as to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. Although the Act expresses ideals which strive for human dignity and respect, incidences of hate crimes and discrimination towards members of the LGBTI community still occur. Sexual orientation continues to be considered a taboo subject, which is often fueled by unsettling stereotypes that justify discrimination against sexual minority groups. Black gay men are a minority based on their race and sexual orientation, this study analyses how they perceive gender and masculinity in particular. The research questions analyse the role of socialisation and other social institutions in shaping ideas pertaining to masculinity through the life-stages of the participants beginning from boyhood until young adulthood. Masculinity is analysed using contextual tools – which describe sexuality and gender within the South African context, and conceptual tools – which provide theoretical explanations relating to masculinity and sexuality. Masculinity will be explored as a dynamic and contextual social construct, which is learned and performed according to one’s personal experiences and upbringing. Qualitative research methods were utilised in the form of focus group discussions and supplemented through semistructured interviews for detailed narratives on the experiences of the participants. The research findings reveal the important role, which primary socialisation agents possess in shaping an individual’s understanding of gender and sexuality. The image of a “good black man” remains entrenched in heteronormative ideals, which reinforce homophobic, religious and conservative views. South Africa may have a liberal Constitution but the reality of “coming out” is not without its challenges.

Abstract:
This thesis provides a new direction to studies of “gay masculinity”, examining the impact a consumerist approach has had on the two bestselling “gay” lifestyle(s) magazines between 1991 and 2011: 'Attitude' and 'GT' (previously known as 'Gay Times'). In both magazines over the period covered, the desire for a “successful” identity as understood through neo-liberal discourse is demonstrated through textual analysis of the aspirational discourse and images (re)presented in both publications, specifically assessing the importance placed on signifiers of consumerism and celebrity role models. In selecting the most-read lifestyle(s) magazines in Britain over the period under study, I was able to understand how mainstream forms of “gay masculine” identity had increasingly been underpinned by discourse pertaining to consumerism as opposed to campaigns against perceived homophobia and inequality. In arguing that a neo-liberal binary of “success” and “failure” has become increasingly prevalent since 1991, with signifiers (re)constructing the former as aspirational, this thesis also notes that 'Attitude' and 'Gay Times' have remained uniquely directed at an explicitly “gay” audience, with emphasis being placed on homonormative forms of “success” being an easily attainable norm.

Abstract:
La presente memoria es el resultado de una investigación de corte etnográfico sobre los osos, un grupo de varones gais que celebran los cuerpos gruesos, peludos y que superan la media de edad que predomina en las representaciones gais. Son nombrados en numerosas ocasiones como un ejemplo de diversidad que amplía las representaciones del sujeto gay pero que, sin embargo, plantea también serios dilemas (políticos) respecto al modelo de masculinidad que propone. ¿Son los osos una subcultura o un movimiento político que pone en jaque el heterosexismo imperante? Responder a una pregunta como esta requiere de una aproximación más empírica que meramente discursiva; sin embargo no existen trabajos de corte etnográfico en nuestro territorio. Aprovechando este vacío, la investigación que sustenta esta memoria pone el foco en diferentes ámbitos experienciales a propósito del estilo bear. Lejos de ser una categoría identitaria que se encarna en las subjetividades con la misma fuerza con la que lo hacen el género o la sexualidad, el oso vehicula quienes son –o qué buscan– en contextos de ocio gay. Por ello, «Hombres de carne y pelo» aborda a los osos como un estilo corporal cuya dimensión simbólica entreteje una relación de significados eficaces en torno al cuerpo. Viste de autenticidad, tolerancia, naturalidad y masculinidad los excesos de arrugas, carne y pelo y produce al mismo tiempo una suerte de valor diferencial que permite erotizar cuerpos vergonzantes, invisibilizados y/o rechazados por los modelos de representación gais dominantes. El estilo bear abre a su paso espacios de encuentro donde la práctica social no sólo se rige por las prohibiciones externas y la necesidad de protegerse frente a un entorno hostil desde una mirada heterosexual y gay, sino también por las posibilidades que ofrece. La seducción, la sexualización y la distensión de responsabilidad cotidianas configuran los principales marcos de acción e interpretación en ellos. Del mismo modo, producciones culturales y medios de difusión y comunicación contribuyen a afianzar la existencia del oso tanto como a fijar y distribuir su capital erótico de forma desigual, generando con ello jerarquías al interior del grupo. El contraste entre las reacciones e interpretaciones que provoca el estilo de los osos y las prácticas que acontecen en los espacios que disponen, dificulta la formulación de una respuesta contundente respecto a la subversión o reproducción del heteroseximo por parte de ellos. La práctica social que se desarrolla en los locales bascula entre registros de adecuación intermitentes y polivalentes: simultáneamente buscan la complicidad entre sus miembros por medio de registros de adecuación feminizados y la distinción respecto a los mismos mediante códigos de virilidad. Esta memoria concluye que los osos tratan de agrandar el marco de ocio y consumo gay a otros cuerpos y otros consumidores, que reclaman también «el derecho» a ser deseables. Configuran el estilo desde el poder otorgado al erotismo al tiempo que se oponen a la mirada heterocentrada que mantiene vinculadas la identidad de género y la orientación sexoafectiva. Sin embargo, su propuesta grupal no cuestiona de forma vertebral y explícita al heterosexismo; un aspecto, este último, que puede ser tan ignorado como defendido en el interior de sus filas.
The following dissertation arises from an ethnographic research on bear gay men, a group of males who celebrate thicker, hairier and more mature bodies than the average image in gay representations. Bears are often mentioned as an example of diversity that broadens representations of gay men but, nevertheless, their model of masculinity also poses serious (political) dilemmas. Are bears either a political movement or a subculture that challenges the prevailing heterosexism? Answering that kind of question requires an empirical approach to bears. However, no empirical research has been conducted neither in Spain nor in Catalonia thus far. This research aims to fill this empirical gap by addressing different experiential spheres within the social life of bears. Far from being an identity category embodied in subjectivities as markedly as gender or sexuality, bears work out who they are and what they want inside the context of gay leisrue and consumption. «Men of flesh and hair» tackles bears as a body style that links many positive and effective meanings across the body. It imprints meanings such as authenticity, tolerance, ease and masculinity on excesses of body weight, body hair and wrinkles. At the same time, it produces a sort of differential value which allows for eroticizing bodies that are otherwise perceived as embarrassing and that are either absent or rejected in the dominant models of gay representation. e desirable from bear’s perspective. The bear style arranges meeting and socializing spaces where social action is not just ruled by external prohibitions and the need to protect itself against a hostile environment from heterosexual and other’s gays perspectives, but also by the possibilities that it offers. Thus, seduction, sexualization and the relaxation from daily responsibilities shape the main frameworks of both social action and interpretation within it. Similarly, cultural productions and media contribute to strengthen bear existence as well as to fix and distribute its erotic capital in uneven ways, generating hierarchies within the group. The reactions and interpretations regarding the bear style contrast with the social practices that take place in those bear spaces. In the latter, social action unfolds among intermittent and versatile roles that look both for complicity and distinction, by using either feminine or manly codes. Therefore, it seems difficult to offer a conclusive answer about whether bears reproduce or subvert heterosexism. This dissertation concludes that bear gay men attempt to enlarge the framework of gay leisure and consumption in order to include many other bodies and consumers, claiming for the right to be desirable. Bears build their style upon erotic power, while confronts hetero-centred perspective that links gender identity to sexual and affective orientation. However, their collective proposal does not thoroughly and explicitly question heterosexism: an issue that is as ignore as it is criticized within their ranks.

Abstract:
Waiting for Ignition, a collection of 47 poems, deals with themes of desire, masculinity, family, community, and connection/disconnection. The speaker in these poems navigates the difficulties of identifying as a young gay man in rural Missouri, the loneliness that stems from his disconnect with the queer community, and his inability to find meaningful connection through his romantic and sexual experiences.

Abstract:
Masculinity has been widely regarded as a harmful cognition that may lead men to engage in risk behavior. The present study sought to examine the role of hyper masculine cognitions and behaviors on sexual health in a sample of gay and bisexual men. A sample of n=313 gay and bisexual men were sampled from the community. Results indicate significant effects of hyper masculine behaviors and hyper masculine cognitions on sexual health variables. Moreover, engaging in risky sexual situations fully mediated effects of hyper masculine behavior on high-risk sexual behavior. Results are discussed with a focus on ego depletion and hegemonic masculinity.
